Once upon a time there was a great magical performer who entertained crowds with his tricks and illusions.

But when the one he loved died, he stopped performing and lost the will to live...

...until one night he had a dream...

Very simple idea and very well executed i agree the end Wake up was weak but if you take the fact that this was a dream and he was basicly getting messages from loved one the end wake up could mean Wake up move past me i love you but the show must go on you know?

Made me a bit teary eyed, and made me think of all who I had lost and made me think about my fear of death. "Death is just transformation"... I really liked that line. A lot. It made me smile a bit.

I loved alot about tihs game, really. The song, the story, the art.. All of it, I think really went well together. It's a little vague, just going from what the game tells you... But I like that about it. It just makes it easier to relate, in my opinion, and that's always a plus.

There were a few things that sorta made me frustrated, however. Like the jumping for example... That sorta made me mad.
The ending sorta bothered me to. Just.. "Wake up"... I mean, everything before that I really liked but I felt just that text was sorta a weak note to end it on. I felt more could have been done to really tie it in. In fact, that's really the only reason I rated it a 9 and not a 10...

I digress. I really liked this game, just wish it had a stronger ending.

Im finding a lot of nice artsy games on newgrounds.
Coma
Walk
this
But through the nice music and beautiful artwork lies a short, crappy game.
Im not saying these games are bad, its just I spend so much more time playing games that are addicting and fun, not games that have serious meaning,
accompanied by easy listening music.
The transformations were fun, but got frustrating by the jungle part
By the fire part it had transformed in to a shitty platformer
I dont want to sound like some action nut who doesn't think a game is good unless there is violence. Coma had a great story, and Walk was addicting.
This game falls short of both
